Well, after searching and finding now answers in the older threads I need to ask a question. When I am hauling *** red lining like a **** I will hear a crackling once in awhile up in the striped/red zone area. Never noticed it before, maybe I wasn't paying attention but is something actually wrong?

Is it when you clutch out? Could be backfire :P Any mods?

IMO it is the sound of devilish carbon being cleared from your engine thus bringing life to your fav toy.

all I got is a short shifter, so thats normal then? Not really marbles just like popping bubble rap... Time to go pop some bubble rap for real

I get a crackling noise up in the high rev ranges during WOT that comes from the glove box. I think it's cavitation coming from the water pump hitting the heater core. Sounds eerily similar to my old water cooling rig when the pump sucked in some air.

The car has always done it. It's normal.

well that eases my mind. 27k miles and an 05 I was going to say, if something is wrong right now i'm in a load of trouble down the road.

That is the sound of ripping of the space-time continuum.


You say bubble-wrap; my first suspicion would be cavitation; the stock water-pump is known to cavitate at those RPM. If you spend extended time in that rev range you might want to consider aftermarket pump (Mazmart?). Cavitation seriously impairs coolant flow when the engine needs it the most.

Could also be a light ping.

I use to get the marbles in a can sound all the time.

Guess what?

It's gone now that I have the MM Access Port.

alright, ill take a look and see what the mazmart pump is gonna cost me, thanks for the information.
